Instructions
Tzatziki sauce:
Whisk non-dairy yogurt and water into a smooth consistency, add spices and mix well. Now add thinly diced cucumbers and chopped mint, add lemon juice, and pinch of salt.
This sauce can stay refrigerated 2-3 days.
Pita pockets:
Warm pita bread and cut into half’s and make pocket stuff with it with all the ingredients, add the tzatziki sauce at the end to top off the pockets.
Pita pockets are a great way to add a lot of veggies and micro greens.
